As the LFC marketing team is busy preparing for our most extravagant online auction to date, I wanted to share some important details concerning our newest auction.  

The auction for this luxurious custom estate begins on January 22 and will be held entirely online at our residential real estate website, FRE.com. That is all I can say about this exquisite coastal mansion for now, but here is some info about the home’s spectacular location in southern California’s Dana Point.

The beach town of Dana Point is situated between Los Angeles and San Diego in south Orange County.  Encompassing less than seven square miles,  the small town of Dana Point has a well-deserved reputation for easy living, and is set against a romantic backdrop of rolling hills and coastal bluffs. Here a few highlights to check out before we can pass along more specific details next week:

• Newly opened walking trails and funicular at The Headlands
• The Festival of Whales
• The Dana Point Harbor and its several amenities such as:
  • Two marinas
  • The Ocean Institute
  • Dozens of restaurants
• Famous beaches and surf spots like Salt Creek and Doheny State Beach
• Dozens of public parks
• The award winning Dana Hills High School

Check back in with us for a new post about this property next week. We’ll also have a post up explaining the differences between reserve and absolute auctions.
